use Bluetooth
Install the KDE desktop & then use kbluetooth (think that's the name) assuming your computer has a Bluetooth NIC. Get a Bluetooth card if not. You could also use a USB cable and treat the phone like a flash drive. Most phones will allow that but you need the right cable.

If he has a Bluetooth card on the computer it will work. The computer should contact the phone. Then the phone's software will pop up to confirm or deny the connection. Bluetooth is pretty slow and the devices need to be in the same room. The same desk would be even better.
